My Vertiginous Week

Jan 18, 2016 22:27

Vertigo sucks. I'm just going to put that out there.

Tuesday night on the Fifth of January, I went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens with my brother, who was in town for a visit. I felt fine after the movie, and through breakfast the next morning. However, around noon I started to feel a bit dizzy. I sat down, hoping it would pass. However ( Read more... )

sickness, vertigo, new years

Glad you're on the road to recovery!

Thank you! I'm amazed it's taken this long to start feeling better. Haha, didn't stop me from buying books, though! XD

well, vertigo can be a witch like that ::firm nod::

and what did you think of the Star Wars movie? [::unashamedly wanting a toy version of BB-8::]

I've seen it three times now...and I'm still not totally sure?

Like, I think them basically remaking A New Hope was perhaps not the best idea? (Droid with vital information on a desert planet finds untrained Jedi kid, go to a big cantina scene, fly X-wings through a trench to blow up a planet-sized weapon...) Sooo many of the story beats were the same, it distracted from getting into the movie.

Though I loved seeing the old characters again, of course, and the new actors were all pretty good (except Kylo Ren, who sounded like an emo teen). BB-8 is the most adorable thing since puppies. And the practical effects were great.

Apparently I have ~feelings~ about this, haha. Maybe I'll write up a proper review at some point.

There's a twitter account called Emo Kylo Ren (or something to that effect) - he and a twitter account for Luke (episode 7 Luke, to be accurate) had a fun twitter war going [one of the geek pages I follow on Facebook shared a couple of exchanges]

haven't seen it yet [planning on doing that once it hits on demand, heh] - but all I can think of hearing about Emo Kylo Ren is that it's practically Ani 2.0 XD

and I will love to read your review of the movie!

and no surprises that I've been batting around a Star Wars/Dragon Flyz x-over, heh. Z slides to the Dark side to mirror his getting turned into a mutant in Dragon Flyz canon but I need help with a good Sith name. Suggestions?

oh, and random Kylo Ren trivia fact - the guy that played him? Marine.
